ROOT(<N number>, <N root>)
Computes cube roots, fifth roots, and other roots for which SQRT() fails.
Returns <expN> which is the <root> of <number>.
<number> on which to compute root.
<root> desired.
Returns INFINITY() if <number> is negative and <root> is even.
* Compute the cube root of 100
m_cube = ROOT( 100, 3 )
* m_cube contains 4.64
* Compute the fifth root of 1000
m_fifth = ROOT( 1000, 5 )
* m_fifth contains 3.98
* Compute the seventh root of 5
m_seven = ROOT( 5, 7 )
* m_seven contains 1.26
* Compute the eleventh root of 12345
m_eleven = ROOT( 12345, 11 )
* m_eleven contains 2.35
